I think the fender amp is more likeable when playing alone, but I can see the Roland amp more usable in a band context, as it's opening up the sound way more, giving it clarity to be easely heard in a mix
Thank you for this video ... this is really amazing. What do you think from your experience sounds "the best" apart from the leslie, which I think is a great effect rather than a permanent solution!
My pleasure 😃 For me it depends on the context, but I mostly end up using the Twin Reverb. It has a nice boost in the high mids that tends to work well in a mix. It also sounds nice both clean and overdriven. The AC15 can sound a bit harsh when played clean, but sounds really good when overdriven (especially the EF86 preamp). For a completely clean sound, the Jazz Chorus is really great 🙂
I use the worlds largest pre-amp pedal 😅 It's connected into a Hammond C3 via the RCA input on the preamp inside the organ. But you can get Leslie preamp-pedals, which eliminates the need of an organ 🙂
I've never tried any of them, but i've seen a couple of different preamp pedals. The old Leslie Combo Preamp or some of the newer from Trek, Boss Organ, BookerLab or Vintage Vibe might work. Maybe there's other ones too which I don't know about.
Since you use the RetroFlyer Preamp, the piano will become an 'active' instrument, so DIRECT OUT ist not really direct out. A passive Piano will interact with the input stages of the different amps and may sound different...
Neither the preamp or the pickups interact directly with the amplifiers in this case. The signal from the preamp is recorded once and then sent through a re-amp box to the different amplifiers. This is to get the exact same source material in the different examples. I always try to be as detailed as possible in the description field.
